For The Candy:

1. Lets start with the carrot. Melt the dark green and orange chocolate.
2. With the paint brush, daub dark green chocolate into the leaf part of the candy mold. Make sure the green is thick enough so the orange chocolate does not show through. Let the green dry at room temperature. The chocolate will have a dull finish when ready.

 For the tags, just cut paper and write on it with a magic marker. If you want EVERYTHING edible, use wafer paper for the tags and edible food writers to write with. (We carry both)
